Answer:

b) In nature, only embryonic stem cells give rise to all the different types of cells in the organism.

Explanation:

Embryonic stem cells are special type of cells formed in the embryonic stage of the life cycle of a living organism. Embryonic stem cells are capable of differentiating into every other type of cells that exists in an organism. Besides the embryonic stem cells, other types of stem cells exist, one of which is the adult stem cell.

The adult stem cell is a type of stem cell found in the tissues of adult organisms as opposed to those found in the embryo. One substantial difference between the embryonic and adult stem cells is that the embryonic stem cells are the only type of stem cells capable of giving rise to all the different types of cells in an organism i.e. embryonic stem cells are capable of differentiation while adult stem cells are not.

The motor neuron and all the myofibers it innervates is referred to as a ____________ . every time a motor neuron sends a nerve
lara31 [8.8K]

The motor unit is composed of the motor neuron and innervated fibers, which are the ones that contract. 1) motor unit 2) contract.

<h3>What is the motor unit?</h3>

The<u> motor unit</u> is the association between the motor neuron and a group of fibers from the muscle.

A single muscle is composed of several motor units. But the fibers involved in only one motor unit are just a little part of the whole muscle mass, meaning this is the part that will contract.

The motor unit is the basic unit from which the CNS controls motion.

Before contraction, there must be a stimulus that is received by receptors.

The CNA sends a message to respond to the stimulus.

The message is transmitted, by motor neurons, as chemical signals -neurotransmitters- which are received by the muscle fibers.

When the muscle cells receive this information, a cascade of events occurs that produce the local contraction of these fibers.

Which of the following will produce<br> the most genetic diversity in<br> offspring?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: in order to form a new organism, two gametes -- the sex cells, sperm and egg -- must fuse, further mixing the genes to produce more genetic diversity. Asexual reproduction is one organism dividing into two organisms without shuffling its genes, so the offspring has the same version of genes as did the parent.

Two dogs–a boxer and a poodle–were the first to have their entire genomes sequenced. The dog genome contains 2.8 billion2.8 bill
12345 [234]

Answer:

78 chromosomes

Explanation:

Since the number of chromosomes in a dog are diploid, we have 2n chromosomes where n = number of chromosome pairs.

Since n = 39.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 2 × 39 = 78 chromosomes

So, a dog has 78 chromosomes.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The people within this age range most likely want a baby for themselves/want more babies, or they don't feel like they should have to be limited to the amount of babies they want.
